Signs of approaching labor in primiparous

In order to start meeting in time in the maternity ward, every pregnant woman should know what signs indicate the approaching birth, in particular among the first-born. As a rule, a woman learns about them during her visits to a gynecologist, who is watching pregnancy.

How can you determine the approaching birth?

As a rule, the following signs attest to the approach of labor in primiparas:

1. Abdominal abscess. This, perhaps, is the very first of the symptoms of approaching births, observed in primiparas about 15-30 days before the baby's birth.
2. Increase in the volume of vaginal discharge. Almost every future mother at a certain moment, when the gestation period has passed for 30 weeks, begins to mark an increase in the volume of vaginal mucus. The result is the departure of the so-called cervical cork, which throughout the entire pregnancy was a protective barrier for various pathogenic microorganisms.
3. There is an improvement in general well-being, which first of all consists in facilitating breathing. So many pregnant women note the relief of the breathing process, which is associated with the omission of the fetus. As a result, the previously hampered stomach and diaphragm disappears.
4. The appearance of pain in the lumbar region, can also be attributed to one of the first signs of approaching births in primiparas. There are painful sensations as a result of the fact that the pressure of the fetus on the small pelvis increases. At the same time there is a stretching of the iliac sac connective tissue.
5. Increased urge to urinate and defecate. All this occurs as a result of increasing fetal pressure on the pelvic organs, primarily on the bladder.
6. Reducing the weight of the body weight - can also be regarded as one of the signs of approaching births in the primiparous, which is often written in the forum on pregnancy and childbirth. Weight reduction occurs at 1-1.5 kg.
7. The appearance of training fights is also evidence that soon enough a woman will become mother. For the first time, most women celebrate their appearance at the time of 20 weeks and later.

What to do if there are signs of an early birth?

First of all, it must be said that every pregnant woman should keep herself in hand and not panic. In addition, it is always necessary to take into account such a parameter as the expected date of delivery, which in most cases coincides with the actual day of the baby's appearance. Therefore, if a woman began to sip her belly for 25-27 weeks, and the pain is weak and passes almost after the change of position, then most likely these are training bouts, with the coin of which before the birth of the baby can take more than one week.
